Ecovinyassa

Eco Vinyassa has a truly wonderful location. Located near Sóller, close enough to be within walking distance, but far enough to be quiet, this eco-farm presents a unique place, surrounded by the mountains of the Serra de Tramuntana. Ecovinyassa has 18,000 m2 of fertile plantations. As background you can see the mountain called "Puig Major", the highest mountain in Majorca. Orange, pine and olive trees frame the picture.

Nearby the main house there is a small well arranged garden with flowers. Here, the tour begins. The first stage of the visit is the weather station, it is here where for years the temperature of the Valley of Sóller has been controlled, paying attention to rainfall and wind speed.
Through a small door we entered the henhouse and the orange grove. Here you get answers to many important and intriguing questions:
How and when the Orange tree came to Mallorca? What was eaten in the court of the kings of France?
Where does the name Clementine come from? Can lemons and oranges grow on the same tree? Where does the water for oranges come from? ¿Why in Mallorca water is measured in minutes or hours? What is "Cul d'ou"? Do you get wax from olive pits? How are all biological fertilization works? How come soils have nitrogen?

A way leads us through the trees, several signs about orange varieties are displayed with information and explanations in different languages. In addition the farm owner, Joan, will provide general explanations, he also has a fondness for anecdotes and curiosities. One of the first stops is in the "citrus tree", in which bitter oranges and tangerines with other orange varieties grown from the same tree. This tree has citrus cultivation of past generations, so it is like a living encyclopedia.

The water supply is a key issue in Mallorca and especially for agriculture. It is described water sources and how to retain water.
At the top of the property there is another representation of the citrus tree varieties, old varieties, some of which are almost forgotten and other curiosities like the "Hand of Buddha". Again, all explanations are interactive: you can touch, smell and taste.
Of course, the owner also explains how is the organic farming, including tri-composting plant, planting beans to fertilize the soil ... - of course, everything described in several languages.
